Looking to the future, the company is working on a diverse array of technologies for hydrogen and fuel cell technology, which will play a key role in the decarbonisation bf plant and equipment. To make mass-market hydrogen powertrains a reality, Cummins is focusing its efforts on the application of hydrogen in engines and fuel cells, the production of green hydrogen (produced by renewable energy), as well as the management and transportation of the fuel. Cummins has several ongoing projects related to these development areas, with over 2,000 fuel cell installations in various on-and off-highway applications. These include commercial truck operations in Norway with ASKO, a major grocery wholesaler in the region, and Alstom's Coradia iLint - the world's first hydrogen-powered train in commercial operation throughout Europe. Recent developments from Cummins include its announcement that alongside Air Liquide, the partners completed construction and commissioning of the world's largest proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser, which is used to generate hydrogen. The PEM is powered by renewable energy and is producing up to 8.2tonnes/day of low-carbon hydrogen in Becancour, Quebec. |
